The maid who came out to testify against her was the one who came to the living room and brought her a cup of coffee, and she was the one who followed the maid into this kitchen. After she came in, the maid disappeared.
She was initially puzzled by how a person could vanish like that, but she finally understood. The maid had hidden behind the refrigerator in advance, waiting to come out and provide false testimony.
Hmph. It appeared the maid was also Anya's pawn. What a meticulously planned trap.
Corinne was indeed speechless. There was nothing much to say, and the testimonies and the evidence were against her. The only option was to hand it over to the police and have them professionally investigate the matter and clear her name. When the police and forensic experts arrive, they would determine the time of the child's death and the true cause. Only then would the culprit be revealed.
With the maid she arranged in advance standing up to accuse Corinne, Anya felt like victory was in her hands. However…one look at Jeremy made her realize he still trusted Corinne. Her heart twisted with jealousy.
Resentful, Anya gritted her teeth and embraced Joey with deep sorrow, sobbing as she said, "Brother, since Corinne refuses to admit her crimes, let's do as she wishes and call the police. We can't let my little treasure's death remain a mystery!"
Lucas had no intention of showing mercy to Corinne, who showed no remorse. He thus signaled to his subordinates to call the police.
Corinne yawned wearily and said, "They've called the police, Mister, so let's wait here a bit longer and cooperate with the investigation."
Jeremy lowered his gaze and looked at her. "Didn't you say you were tired?"
Corinne shrugged helplessly. "Even when tired, I still need to cooperate with the investigation. I want to be a law-abiding citizen."
Jeremy lovingly patted the little girl's head and could not help but feel distressed. He regretted bringing her here tonight. They had just made up, yet she was sucked into this mess.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Day I Kissed An Older Man
This book is a good book, but it’s too short. I hope it has a part two👍🏾...
This book is getting boring now. I loved Jeremy, Corinne, Sonny and Lucas. The story needs to end. or bring back more of Jeremy, etc....
I haven't skipped any chapter at all. Though the story is good, it keeps going back to base one. I think this has no ending at all and somehow after reading more than 2500 chapters it's kinda tiring already. They have drained all the thrills....
Great writing! I almost cried when Helen hit Melody! So sad! 😭 can’t wait to see how the relationship with her and Lucas develops though. So tired of the repetitive problems with different people....
Yikes my body tenses so much, my moods change as the scenes change. It leaves me wanting to continue reading....
my heart breaks for melody, so many ups and downs, i shed a few tears when lucas walked by melody carrying thalia, and melody stayed quiet while watching them leave. i find myself getting into character as if im one. i dont remember ever feeling like that in any other books. im thankful the 10 chapters/day. waiting for the next 10...
We have updated progress from 7 chapters/day to 10 chapters/day.<3...
i love grandma Beatrice, there needs to me more people like her in the world straight forward and to the point, no beating around the bush and worrying about offending anyone, why pretend to be someone your not....
looking forward to more chapters, The same thing is happening to Melody as what happened to Luna, if Luna was back maybe she would set Lucas straight, can't wait to see how Lucas handles the situations that will arrive. Poor Melody....
ya Lucas pay more attention to Melody lets see what happens waiting for more chapters thanks...
